Thread: little advice needed (mud)

    Re: little advice needed (mud)

    My only advice would be to watch the sharpness of the chop, should conditions get uncomfortable. If your boat is designed for estuary and river work, tinnies and their welds/strutts at the front are a likely to differ when designed for bay and offshore work. How do I know this? I know a 4 mtr tinny - with forward controls, split a weld at the front and took on water. Manufacturer advised the difference in construction, then added extra ribbing and weld to the design of a 5 mtr boat - all under warranty and FOC.

    Drive to the conditions and Mud is fine, provided you are out in less than 15 knt winds as others have said.

    Yeah still havin a ball up north Nathan. I prefer to pull hooks with lock up drag than to get rubbed off on the structure if i am fishing heavy gear. I have pulled the hooks on so many good fish here. I am sure that you will break your pb soon. I am still havin a ball up north for a few more days probably, plenty of stories. Yesterday i was fishing a sand spit with my boys and a absolute brut of a GT wandered a couple of meters past us in about a meter of water. He followed me up but was only half interested. Really wish i got a camera shot on him.
